Ok, you owe me. I neglected my wife, my children, and worst of all I used my wifes work XP laptop to find this (I feel soooo dirty now using XP)
The tool that jusmee is talking about can be found in Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management. Alternatively right click on My Computer and select Manage. You will see Disk Management under the Storage section on the left. This should allow you to delete and recreate partitions.
Additional, jusmee suggested that gparted may do what you need. There doesn't seem to be a Mac version, but if you run an Intel Mac (non-ppc processor) you can download the LiveCD of gparted and try that (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php).
Best of luck with it, keep us upto date.

Please go back to your wife & children, this isn't worth it.
I found a script for the mac used in it's terminal program (works at the basic system level) to format a single FAT16 partition on the PP. Copied a file and the same result. I think JUSME may have a point in that there may be more than one partition necessary in the internal PP memory (perhaps one with system files, one with data? or something like that). I think that now that I have a clean FAT16 PP, I'll try to reapply the December firmware and see what happens.
Thanks to all of you for taking time with this, starting to feel like a family. I'll try to payback some day when I get my skill sets up to par with the PP.
